migrate vb6 to vb.NET 2003

[marty.overdear]

I have a laptop that I take to customers site to install software. I
have an application that needs .net 2003 for compilation. I also have
a vb6 application that interfaces with this product. I need to be
able to work with this interface code, so I will need to compile it
again. Is it possible to have vb 6 and .NET 2003 loaded on the same
machine?

I tried converting the vb 6 to .net with the wizard, but I got a
memory reference error. It shows up in the design in .NET, but it has
errors everywhere. It has upgrade errors and warnings everywhere.

Yes, I have both IDE on the same machine. Visual Studio .Net 2003 and
Visual Studio 6.0. I have no problem with them.

That is normal you can try 2005 that is much better for conversion.

Hi,

Yes.

However, you might want to consider using VS 2005 (or VB2005 Express),
instead of VS 2003. The Express version is free/or really inexpensive, if
you get the CD version.
